+1 for checking the clearance between the aft of the mast and the mast collar. If the forestay is loose the top of the mast may be slightly forward.
Going by mast rake is difficult unless the boat is floating to spec. You can take an initial reading with a digital level by comparing something that may be level such as the coamings and the mast.

Have you tried running the main halyard aft and tightening the halyard? Attaching it to an aft cleat or something very solid and then using the halyard winch should help bring mast tip back. I am not very familiar with the rig on the 34+ but am assuming that like most of the pre Tartan C&Cs the spreaders are not swept back. Also .. a very dumb question .. do you have any jib or spin halyards attached to any point forward of the mast? Mike Persistence Halifax, NS
